I guess the 3-4 fudders who kept vrc at the top of the forums posting 12 hours straight 5 times a page finally all bought after getting their victims to sell to them.

Was actually very impressive how badly they wanted to buy. No sane person posts the way smoothie and crew did without needing/wanting to buy a substantial amount.

You are VERY wrong.

Those few will not buy into VRC now (one or two already are in), not for any sustained period, anyway. One of them, at least, I can guarantee you, is the actual thief. The others either are in it somehow -not all, that's for sure- or are just foot soldiers from BC and a couple self-called "purists" (nut cases, in fact).The BC platform is actually quite impressive and include all the BC Foundation members posting here an on Twitter and especially at the IRC channel. The vultures were circling the wagons looking for carrion and coming against the Black Hand -formerly ruling BC- and its frontman "Mr. Yo Soy Boricua Pa que Tu lo Sepas", who have jumped ship in not precisely amicable terms. These are already in VRC big time. Too big a time, in fact. But they direly need to pump it up before cashing in so be careful, but by all means, stay for the ride...

I bet you got as much proof for that as for all other claims you made over the months. Which would be - surprise - nothing.Your only chance to be not the biggest idiot in this forum would be that you find someone who actually believes your crude stories

Taking a look at the wallet, it seems pretty much the same as all the others, but with some centralised links to resources. The issue of centralisation of this coin bothers me - the core wallet shouldn't specify where you should buy your coin from, or where you should talk about it.

It's sort of like telling people that Tescos is where you need to spend your Visa cards, or Walmart is where you can buy your bananas.

I get the links, and the integration bit. But it seems, I dunno - a bit "faddy" to me. Also, this PoS stuff really has me troubled, because if it takes off and gets a serious market cap, then the security of its PoS system will be Properly tested. And honestly, PoS makes me uneasy.

I look at this coin, and all the others like it that were released around the same time, and since - and I think, why would I want to keep any of these coins longer than a few weeks and hope for a quick pump or release of new features that makes the price go up.

They don't seem to offer any actual practical value that I can tell. They just serve to take value away from the existing other coins, with their temporary short lived "features".

That is because you are thinking "inside the bubble" and obviously not "outside of the box". If you were you would have found long ago that in any investment, you bet on the people, not on any particular product or service for it is only the people manning the boat who will take you places. Especially in the long run. And the people here are NOT the community -it will quickly disappear, no matter how "faithful" if price doesn't move up, much quicker if it moves down in a few weeks, a couple months at most-. The people at the helm are the one that count. The ONLY one that counts. And, in this particular coin, and responding to your pointed question, it is not the "features" or any of that shit that differs only slightly and in some cases lacks and in others is ahead from other "similar" coins. It is, again, the people: No other coin offers you a developer who is on the payroll of Microsoft. No one. Think of that what you want but no other developer can even remotely come close. I'd say that right away distinguishes VRC from all the others. They also were the first to come out of the anonymity closet, and that brings with it transparency that before was unheard and unthought of... the transparency going to the extreme of stating the amount of the dev teams ownership in VRC. No other coin has done that. And the bar keeps on going higher setting the standards for other coins to follow, like their "controversial" action in the recent theft that they thwarted.

So, as you can see, there's still a distance -quickly growing larger- between VRC and other "similar" coins.

And that is probably why, at the time of this writing, the price is starting to reflect it... in spite of "the controversy". Already 10% from lows of minutes ago after Mintpal's reopening the trading. The traders/investors DO get it. Hopefully you will too.

I'm starting to like you more and more. The reason I got interested in this coin in the first place was because the Dev's were becoming public which IMO was where coin development needed to go in order to succeed in the future.
